Halfway Between the Imaginary and the Real, (2022 Wallack Galleries) curated by Atticus Gordon, is an exhibition of six contemporary Canadian artists concerned with the potential of imagination as a tool for understanding and working through our time. The artists build environments poised between reality and imagination, using this confluence to construct meaning. Rooted in the history of painting and image-making, the artists recycle surrealist methods to examine contemporary ideas and issues tied to histories, culture, and place. The exhibition proposes a re-enchantment, a remodelling of understanding orbiting imagination that looks to the past and speaks to the future. (Exhibiting work by Andrew Beck, Amanda Boulos, Gillian King, Mac Lenters, Emma White, Paul Nadeau)
